He is right in the sense that Colorado cannot prevent him from being President. Their court has no Federal jurisdiction.

Only the primaries are controlled by the individual states in a POTUS election. They are saying he cannot appear on the state ballot.

Well of course. It's the Colorado state supreme call not the US supreme court. But the ruling excludes him from the presidential ballot in Colorado in a GE, even if he wins the nomination to be the republican candidate for president via primaries in other states.

If that decision stands and several other states do the same, that would effectively scupper his chances I guess as he wouldn't get any electoral votes from those states?

He's not expected to win Colorado I don't think. But if this happened in places where he could win or needs to win, I think that's definitely the case.

Yeah, I thought I heard Michigan and Ohio mentioned, but not sure about any others. I suppose it wouldn't fly in states like Florida and Texas anyway.

This is probably only going to help him.

Some one just shoot the fucker.

Do you think? It's not how I see it. While I don't argue the democrats could probably do with a better option than biden, all this says to me is what masterful cult leader trump is. 

They did a poll a few weeks ago and it was from a proper organisation, neither left or right leaning.

Trump was beaten by the word "generic democrat" by 8 or 9 points.

Trump is also hated but he's less hated than Biden.

Long way to go and all these court cases will see Trump losing independant support. But it shouldn't be as close as it is and that's down to how weak Biden is.

The Democrats will get trounced imo. I guess that's what you get for treating the electorate with disdain at the top levels.

All democratic appointed judges, which shouldn't matter, but that country is so divided, that fact will be jumped on.

 

 

The Plaintiffs in the case are all Republicans. One was the Colorado Senate Majority leader.

Then-President Donald Trump personally pressured two Republican members of the Wayne County Board of Canvassers not to sign the certification of the 2020 presidential election, according to recordings reviewed by The Detroit News and revealed publicly for the first time.

On a Nov. 17, 2020, phone call, which also involved Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Trump told Monica Palmer and William Hartmann, the two GOP Wayne County canvassers, they'd look "terrible" if they signed the documents after they first voted in opposition and then later in the same meeting voted to approve certification of the county’s election results, according to the recordings.

"We've got to fight for our country," said Trump on the recordings, made by a person who was present for the call with Palmer and Hartmann. "We can't let these people take our country away from us." 

McDaniel, a Michigan native and the leader of the Republican Party nationally, said at another point in the call, "If you can go home tonight, do not sign it. ... We will get you attorneys."

To which Trump added: "We'll take care of that."

She’s got those crazy eyes. That cunt would chop your cock off while you were sleeping and then act like nothing had happened when you woke up.

 

Pretty sure she fronts Aerosmith as well.

Ah unlucky -- Maine beat them to the punch.

 

Maine barred Donald Trump from the primary ballot Thursday, making it the second state in the country to block the former president from running again under a part of the Constitution that prevents insurrectionists from holding office.

The decision by Maine Secretary of State Shenna Bellows (D) is sure to be appealed. The Colorado Supreme Court last week found Trump could not appear on the ballot in that state, and the Colorado Republican Party has asked the U.S. Supreme Court to review the case. The nation’s high court could resolve for all states whether Trump can run again.

Biggest witch-hunt the world has ever seen.

I was in Virginia a few weeks back, as we drove from FL to Maine. We stopped off in Lexington The state is pretty much a shrine to the confederacy. All of the statues and monuments and places of historical significance are to do with confederate generals and other important figures from the South. It was weird. Cute town though, and the people were really nice to us and our dog. 

 

Interesting as fuck to be fair. The route we took was pretty much an American history tour. From Georgia, the Carolinas and Virginias seeing the remnants of the confederacy and its ongoing relevance, up into Gettysburg where Lincoln gave the famous address when the Civil War was all but won, then into Philadelphia and revolutionary Boston. 

 

They've gone through quite a lot as a country despite being only 250 years old!

Forgot to say, Virginia has loads of monuments to places where Indians were rounded up and moved on, too. Weird.

Are there any chances the Supreme Court will uphold these blocks?

Wouldn't be so sure. Supreme Court currently has a legitimacy crisis. It may well rule with a farer hand on these cases. Those conservative appointments aren't beholden to Trump because he appointed them. Their focus will be on the puritanical long game on issues like abortion, gender, sexuality, etc.
